I am not going to calibrate by our staff's standards because they have proven conclusively that they have no fuging idea what they are doing.

He's a third rounder, so I have no intentions of saddling him with 1st round expectations. If he falls flat on his face as a player, I will gripe about the 3rd rounder and skewer the coaches but I am not gonna get upset at a 3rd round draft pick QB for not ending up being a franchise player.

Oh I get not being as upset if he fails because he was a much cheaper investment than a first rounder. Our strategy for him isn’t to simply be a backup. Whether we achieve that or not is up in the air, but Fitt has said “he is our future” already in his press conference. That makes me think he is going to be treated like a day one pick QB vs a third rounder.

I had two QBs in this draft as day one ready, Corral was one.

I'm oddly excited about this. Putting him on the bench would be a kill joy.

He and Strong can play now imo.

You can't win with Darnold. Get the kid in as quick as we can get him ready and let him sink or swim. Don't "pull a Christensen" and leave him on the bench behind a trash vet and barely give yourself a chance to evaluate him in actual game situations.

If we weren't taking Howell then Corral was my #2.

Both seem like tough, competitive players. Corral is more suited for our WCO shorter, quicker passes. Howell has the better deep ball and could be better in a deeper vertical passing scheme offense. Howell has a shot to take over the starting job in Washington sooner better later.

This. Expectation is already too high for the kid and if he turns out to be a career backup then criticizing trading a future 3rd is valid

Yeah, I think he's going into a good roster situation with Wentz being cuttable after this season not to mention fragile. We're a tough situation for a rookie QB to walk into with our staffing situation. It was past time for us to part ways with Ron but for all his flaws Matt Rhule makes Ron Rivera look like Vince Lombardi in comparison.

Disagree.. He was a 3rd round pick and compensation for taking a swing is reasonable.. If he ends up being just a backup.. Well that's what 3rd round QB'S are usually taking for..

If he loses the job conclusively to Darnold, that's when I am gonna turn on Fitterer pretty hard.

The league as a whole basically made moves in free agency to handle QB openings because this QB class was so poor. 

 

Agreed.. So happy we only took a 3rd round swing on this class and didn't commit a 1st or 2nd round pick..

Since you seem to like the Jets philosophy, what’s your take on Zach Wilson. Has he got the goods or no?

Maybe that’s what backups usually go for but in this case there were players that fill that role who would’ve been available in the 4th. Trading up may have not been necessary. We’ll see

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.

      It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
